Bylaws Committee Committee Members, state affiliation and term expirations are: Allison Howard, Chair (FL—2014) Patricia Higginbottom (AL—2016) Sylvia Kyle (FL—2015) The Bylaws Committee reviewed the Chapter’s Bylaws for any needed changes. The proposed changes are summarized below. Bylaw Proposed Changes

1. There are several places where the Vice Chair/Chair Elect needed to be changed to the Chair-Elect/Program Chair and/or Program Chair-Elect, depending on the context to update the language previously voted on but not reflected in the Bylaws.

2. In Article IV. Officers, Section 1, Officers and Term of Office, Letter G - some changes were made

in appointed positions listed. This is in no way an indication that the position titles taken out are not important. The goal was to separate out position titles that might change and place them in a document outside the Bylaws that would not require a Bylaws revision to update. The duties for all appointed positions, found later on in Article IV, were also moved to the Appendix since these are more procedural than Bylaws. The MLA Bylaws Committee Chair applauded us for removing procedures into a separate document.

3. In Article IV, Section 2. Duties - the addition of duties for the Chair-Elect/Program Chair created a cascading effect of changes in the letters within this section.

4. In Article IV, Section 4. Vacancies - some new wording was added: Any officer unable or remiss in fulfilling their duties shall be notified of the Executive Board’s concern and, if the situation cannot be resolved, the officer will be asked to resign.

5. Article VI. Executive Board - an Executive Board quorum was established. This was mentioned at last year’s business meeting as a recommendation from the Executive Board to the Bylaws Committee. The Executive Board recommendation was to make the quorum a set number of ten. The Bylaws Committee agreed and added a quorum section to the Bylaws at Article VI. Executive Board. New Section 4. Executive Board Quorum.

6. In Article IX. Amendment of the Bylaws - the time-frame in which the Bylaw amendments are distributed to the membership is changed from two months to one month.

7. A few changes were made throughout for the sake of clarification. See the comment boxes on the side of the document.

Proposed Bylaws Procedure

1. The proposed Bylaw changes were sent to the Executive Board to review. 2. Upon approval from the Board, they were sent to the MLA Bylaws Chair to review. 3. In accordance with the Chapter’s Bylaws, the proposed changes were sent to the membership

two months prior to the annual meeting.

Update the Bylaws Committee Manual The Bylaws Committee Procedure Manual was reformatted, revised and updated.

The Communications Committee has a continuous goal to disseminate information that may be relevant to Southern Chapter members through the SoChap listserv. Current tasks have included dissemination of governmental information until a liaison can be identified. Southern Chapter Website – Lisa Ennis & Nicole Mitchell

The website has been running smoothly. We continue to update content and software as needed. The SCMLA 2014 site, which is running off the main SCMLA Drupal instance, has been developed and seems to have proven an excellent case for using the main SCMLA site to host future meeting sites. Please continue to let us know when errors, typos, etc. are found.

Nominating Committee Committee Members and state affiliation; this is a one year term for all members. Brenda Faye Green, Chair (TN) Nadine Dexter (FL) Karen Roth (FL) Joe Swanson (GA) Lisa Travis (GA) Upon the resignation of Jane Bridges as Chair-Elect/Program Chair, the Executive Board appointed Richard Nollan, the current Program-Chair-Elect, to fill the now vacant Chair-Elect/Program Chair position. Filling this position vacancy then created a vacant Program Chair-Elect position.

11

The Nominating Committee recommended to the Executive Board that Brenda Curry-Wimberly fill the now vacant Program-Chair Elect position. Brenda Curry-Wimberly subsequently resigned the position. Following the resignation of Brenda Curry-Wimberly, the Executive Board voted to appoint Jan Orick to the Program Chair-Elect position. The Nominating Committee put forth a slate of candidates. The Executive Board approved the slate. An online ballot (Survey Monkey) was prepared by the Chapter Secretary and distributed to the Chapter’s membership. The Secretary tallied the votes. The membership elected the following candidates for 2014/15.

• Program Chair-Elect: Tara Douglas-Williams, Morehouse School of Medicine (GA) • Secretary/Treasurer: Rose Bland, University of South Florida (FL) • MLA Nominating Committee Candidate: Kim Meeks, Mercer University (GA) • MLA Chapter Council Representative: Lisa Ennis, Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine (AL) • MLA Chapter Council Alternate: Skye Bickett, PCOM (Philadelphia College of Osteopathic

Medicine) (GA) All candidates, with the exception of Lisa Ennis and Skye Bickett, take office following this year’s Business Meeting. Lisa and Skye, as well as candidates in their positions in all chapters, take office following the close of MLA 2015 in Austin, Texas. The Nominating Committee recommends the next committee consider putting forth a slate with two candidates per position, in addition to the ability to write-in a candidate name.

Goal and Activities The role of the Program Committee is to plan the annual Chapter meeting, including speakers, format, content, theme and schedule. The Program Chair/Chair-Elect was appointed in January 2014 to assume the position of committee chair after the unexpected resignation of the previous chair. The committee was quickly formed and coordinated to insure the timely completion of all program elements for the meeting in Mobile. Richard met with committee members at the Medical Library Association meeting in Chicago, and separately with the Local Arrangements Chair to review the details of the meeting. A day agenda spreadsheet was created to graph the meeting events and their locations, and was used extensively to record schedule changes as details became clear. After a review of the 2013 meeting evaluation, the process of selecting three featured speakers was completed. Richard applied for a National Network of Libraries of Medicine Technology/Electronic Health Information Awareness Award for $5000 to support the keynote speaker, which was approved and funded. The theme of the meeting “Making a Difference in Health” and the meeting logo were presented at the 2013 meeting. Meeting announcements were placed in the fall issue of Southern Expressions and in the September issue of MLA News. General Session Speakers Based on the 2013 meeting evaluation and recommendations from Program Committee members, these three speakers were selected for the

1. General Sessions I: Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital. Sheri Fink, M.D., Ph.D. Dr. Fink’s fee is $7500 plus one night in the conference hotel and coach airfare. In addition to the $5000 grant from NN/LM, the University of South Alabama is contributing $1000 to Ms. Fink’s speaker fee. The remaining $1500 will be paid for out of the meeting budget.

2. General Session II: Reshaping the Health Sciences Librarian. Elaine Martin. Dr. Martin’s fee is $300 plus two nights in the conference hotel and coach airfare. The Alabama Health Libraries Association (ALHeLA) is contributing $1500 to support the speaker fee and expenses.

3. General Session III: Laugh Therapy. Ray Weinshenker. Mr. Weinshenker’s fee is $300. As a Mobile resident, there are hotel or transportation costs.

Posters and Papers Lee Vukovich coordinated the papers and Martha Earl the posters. Together they distributed the call for participation, received the submissions, and notified the submitters. They will also be on hand at the meeting to insure that the sessions go smoothly. There will be 23 papers presented in six sessions over two days (10/28-29). There will be 25 posters presented in two sessions on the same days. The best papers and posters will be identified and awarded as judged by the members of the Research Committee. Roundtables There was an open question in March about the need for doing roundtables at the meeting. Low attendance at previous roundtable events plus the cost of lunch paid for by attendees were cited as problems, so the committee decided to survey Southern Chapter members to see whether they would

14

be interested in attending a roundtable if lunch was provided at no cost. The committee drafted the wording, which was then entered into Survey Monkey and sent through SOCHAP-L to members. Of the 65 respondents, 53 (81.5%) said they would attend a roundtable if lunch was provided, and 52 offered possible topics for the individual roundtables. Sylvia McAphee is coordinating and advertising the roundtables for the Mobile meeting.

The committee has six members plus the chair. We try to maintain geographic considerations, with three hospital and three academic librarian members. Members serve for up to three years (renewable) and the chair for one year, trying to stagger term endings to provide continuity. Five members end their term this year. Activities

o Completed project activities o Timeline o Expenses to date o Budget o List of Activities for next year

16

Pending We have two pending activities. We will complete them before the SC Meeting in Alabama:

Additional members consist of the Chapter Chair, Chair-Elect, and Past Past Chair. The Committee reviewed the Chapter’s Strategic Plan, “The Southern Strategy”. Members of the Committee recommends next year’s committee consider the following.

• Change the name from “The Southern Strategy” to “The Southern Chapter Strategy”. • Ensure all links are currently working. • Ensure all links, e.g. Objective 1.C, go to the most appropriate section of the MLA website. • Re-word Goal 3 and Goal 5 to add clarity to further distinguish between the two. • Add additional wording to Objective 3.D. Suggested text includes, “Provide a diverse selection of

communication tools (such as newsletters, discussion list, web tools, annual meeting, etc.). • Add a mission, vision, and core values statements using the MLA’s Strategic Plan as a guide. • Mirror MLA’s Strategic Plan by incorporating the same or similar headings that are appropriate

for the chapter. See MLA headings below. o Recruitment, Membership, and Leadership in the Profession o Lifelong Learning o Advocacy o Knowledge Creation and Communication o Partnerships

• Review the ‘Strategic Planning for the Future of the New York-New Jersey Chapter” for possible additions and/or updates to the chapter’s plan. The website located at http://www.nynjmla.org/ChapterStrategicPlan.pdf.

We also discussed the importance of diversity in selecting the slate – key issues to consider are geographic region, library or information service type, and amount of experience. The process for selecting candidates and electing the MLA president-elect and members of the MLA Board is described on pages 2–3 of the MLA Bylaws (log in to MLANET to read this document). The slate will contain at least two candidates for president-elect (president during 2016/17) and at least four candidates for the two vacant board positions (2015–2018). Job descriptions for president and board members are available on MLANET. The Nominating Committee will meet at MLA ’14 to finalize the list of potential candidates.

The NPC is challenging Chapters to donate items with the prospect of obtaining the highest bid. The NPC will announce highest bid for the Chapters around 9 pm after the exclusive auction on Tuesday night at the /Party with a Purpose/. In addition, the winner will be listed MLA News (monthly membership newsletter) and in MLA Focus (the bi-weekly electronic news update to the membership). The bidding will start Saturday, May 17 with the opening of the exhibits and will run for most items until Monday, May 19 at 10:30 am. The winning bidders will be called on Monday and be asked to pay and pick up their winnings by 2 pm on Tuesday, May 21. Some larger items will be chosen for exclusive bidding at the /Party with a Purpose/ closing reception. Our auctioneer, Clinton M. (Marty) Thompson, Jr., AHIP, will lead the bidding at around 7:45 pm. Some possible items for donation are rare books, gift baskets, handcrafted items, jewelry, artwork, vacation timeshares, autographed books, posters, photos, art, sports, paraphernalia, tickets to sporting events or theatre events, gift certificates for online purchases at shops and restaurants, candles and collectibles. When an item is ready for bidding, take a picture, list all the contents (if more than one), get a copy of the Auction Donation Form from _http://mlanet.org/am/am2014/events/silentauction.html_[mlanet.org] <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://mlanet.org/am/am201 4/events/silentauction.html&k=lmxj0uloiQslubycBXSv7A%3D%3D%0A&r=uulzRb DVYQuy39681vYei8kmnZf4T0x0GDLEce1WGfQ%3D%0A&m=SpVat8O2HHJ3IWksL5cPXTKR %2BuXelfRE4pvUmhNnA5o%3D%0A&s=8cf53a11e44885b38ed399c0fe4a33318bc474d6 b81ea385180e8cd08f51318c, fill out the form and submit it to the address listed. Please list if the item will be brought to the MLA Annual Meeting or if it will be shipped to the winning bidder after the meeting. Shipping (at donator’s expense) may be ideal if you have a large item or many small items.

If the item will not be brought to the MLA Annual Meeting, NPC will print out the picture supplied and the list submitted on 8.5 X 11 size paper in color. If your Chapter would like to entice bidders by creating a more creative display no bigger than 11 X 14 (Portrait format), it may be dropped off at the Annual Meeting on Saturday.

Garfield Award Information The Medical Library Association Eugene Garfield Research Fellowship promotes and supports research on topics in the history of information science. The $5000 fellowship, established in 2013, is to be used for research-related purposes regarding the history of information science to increase the underlying knowledgebase in this area and enhance the current and future practice of the information professions, particularly health sciences librarianship. Health sciences librarians and information scientists, health professionals, researchers, educators, and administrators are eligible. Applicants must have a master's or doctor's degree or be enrolled in a program leading to such a degree and demonstrate a commitment to the health sciences. The fellowship is not designed to support research for a doctoral dissertation or master’s thesis. The award is not restricted to disbursement in a single year and funding may be disbursed over a period of up to two years depending on the needs of the research fellow.
